Hannah Bronfman is the founder of HBFit.com, a fitness guru, wellness expert and successful DJ. She is creating a killer soundtrack for the #BlogHer18 Health kick-off event, Find Your Flow, where we will be offering one-of-a-kind fitness, wellness and interactive experiences, along with tasty bites and healthy cocktails. The following day, Hannah will take the mainstage with fellow “welltrepreneurs”, Latham Thomas, Kelly LeVeque and Rens Kroes to discuss how to turn your passion into a thriving business and how to create an authentic and differentiated wellness brand. Check out Hannah’s holiday advice below and <a href="https://blogher18health.eventbrite.com/?aff=BHArticleHB">grab your ticket</a> today – you won’t want to miss her!</p><p><strong>Q: What is your best nutritional advice for the holidays?</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> I am a believer in balance and moderation. It's miserable to sit at a family dinner and feel restricted, so I love to create healthier alternatives to indulgent recipes by substituting more nutritionally dense ingredients, like monk fruit sugar or quinoa flour in desserts or using non-dairy ingredients to create creamy textures for sauces and curries.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Q: What tips do you have for staying fit around the holidays?</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> Don't look at fitness as work - if it's part of your life, you will find ways to incorporate it when your routine is off during the holidays. Family walks (or runs!), at-home workouts, and restorative yoga classes are all great ways to keep active during the holidays.</p><p><strong>Q: What is your favorite holiday cocktail?</strong></p><p><strong>A: </strong>Anything with Don Julio Tequila.</p><p><strong>Q: Favorite way to de-stress around the holidays?</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> A bath! Also, taking the time to reflect on goals and what I am grateful for at the end of the year is always a refreshing way to put the little things into perspective.</p><p><strong>Q: Any new fitness gadgets or gear we should put on our holiday wish lists?</strong></p><p><strong>A: </strong>I am dying to try the new Ash Pearl Laceless Adidas Ultra Boosts.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://blogher18health.eventbrite.com/?aff=BHArticle"><img src="https://www.blogher.com/files/register-btn_0.png" alt="Register for #BlogHer18 Health, January 30-31 in NYC" /></a></p><div class="og_rss_groups"></div>BlogHer Conferences#BlogHer18 Healthhttp://www.blogher.com/files/imagecache/user_small/user_pictures/picture-465222.jpgThu, 14 Dec 2017 22:32:05 +0000amandalynjones2594033 at http://www.blogher.com#BlogHer18 Health Book Recommendationshttp://www.blogher.com/blogher18-health-book-recommendations

We first introduced our signature Generation Z initiative at #BlogHer15 with Hatch Labs, and the Hatch program is returning for its third year as a keynote. On Saturday, June 24th, our closing keynote will feature our Hatch Kids in a discussion on “Advice to My 7th Grade Self”, which coincides with the launch of a new #HatchKids video series of the same name.</p><p>#HatchKids <a href="https://www.blogher.com/reed-hatchkid" target="_blank"><strong>Reed</strong></a>, <strong><a href="https://www.blogher.com/zaki-hatchkid" target="_blank">Zaki</a></strong>, <a href="https://www.blogher.com/elyssa-hatchkids" target="_blank"><strong>Elyssa</strong></a>, and <a href="https://www.blogher.com/jojo-hatchkid" target="_blank"><strong>Jojo</strong></a>—all of whom are between 12 and 13 years old - will take the stage to ask adults they look up to what they would have told their younger selves about surviving puberty, middle school and high school, overcoming insecurities and acquiring self-confidence, as well as finding the courage to chase their dreams.</p><p><img src="/files/images/offers/BlogHer_post_BH17_Hatch1.jpg" alt="" /></p><p>Moderating our conversation will be <a href="http://www.blogher.com/gabrielle-reece" target="_blank"><strong>Gabrielle Reece</strong></a>, a world-renowned athlete, TV personality, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author, model, wife and mother.

It was there that she rode her first wave, received a sponsorship from Volcom at age 12, and became a standout on the junior tour, winning contests around the world. She spends her summers supporting environmental charities and mentoring young girls through Montauk Board Riders All Girls Surf Camp and most recently is working on a fashion collaboration with Volcom.</p><p><a href="https://www.blogher.com/charli-howard" target="_blank"><strong>Charli Howard</strong></a> is a British born model and aspiring writer, hailing from South-East London. After refusing to accept the pressures to conform to the unrealistic body standards of the high fashion modeling industry, Charli took the risk of speaking out and is now an advocate for teenagers and young women for body positivity. With no plans to change the standards of the fashion industry, she hopes to continue the message to make room for all by not finding beauty in a number.</p><p>Through our Hatch program, we aim to give tweens and teens a voice to discuss digital literacy and the issues that are most pertinent to them. These conversations are our way to create impactful digital content that empowers and educates the next generation of thought leaders.&nbsp;</p><p>Be sure to check out this awesome segment during the closing keynote, it is one you won’t want to miss!</p><p><em>Jen Denton is the Vice President of Community Programs at SheKnows Media.&nbsp; She's an&nbsp;Expert Internet Detective, Basketball Mom, and Multitasker.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Interested in attending a future BlogHer event?
